8 Tips for Eye Health - Dr. Paul Karpecki The Not Old Better Show Interview Series Welcome to The Not Old Better Show.&nbsp; I’m Paul Vogelzang and as part of our science and healthy living series, today’s guest is Dr. Paul Karpecki, and we’re discussing a healthy vision for all, but focused on those of us over 60. Did you know that nearly&nbsp;65% of US adults complain of headaches, neck/shoulder pain, and eye strain&nbsp;when using digital devices, reading or doing detail work? Digital Vision Syndrome (DVS) is here and affecting thousands of us. We are at an unprecedented and critical point when it comes to the impacts of increased screen time. As our lifestyle shifts more to work from home, it puts increased pressure on near vision demands, optometrists are reporting record numbers of patients seeking a solution. In a recent study of over 110,000 patients, nearly two-thirds experienced painful symptoms often associated with eye misalignment. More than 55% of them experienced these symptoms on a daily basis.&nbsp;Optometrists across the nation are seeing an uptick of vision issues related to DVS including eye strain, which can lead to headaches, pain around the eyes and pain behind the eyes, as well as neck pain and other related problems. Our guest today is Dr. Paul Karpecki, who has over 20 years of experience running some of the largest dry eye clinics in the United States. Dr. Paul Karpecki is a noted educator and author of over 1000 papers on the subject of Dry Eye Disease.&nbsp; Dr. Karpecki currently serves as the Chief Clinical Editor for Review of Optometry, the most read journal in the profession.&nbsp; Please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show via internet phone, Dr. Paul Karpecki. My thanks to Dr. Paul Karpecki.&nbsp; Hopefully, today’s show will help you understand and consider the effects of Digital Vision Syndrome.&nbsp; Remember to check out our website for more details about Dr. Paul Karpecki and Digital Vision Syndrome. &nbsp; My thanks to you, my wonderful Not Old Better Show audience…be safe, and remember let’s Talk About Better.&nbsp; The Not Old Better Show. Until next time, thanks, everybody.&nbsp; Check out our new show on KSCW Radio, 103.1 FM Phoenix AZ every Saturday morning at 8:15 AM/PST, and, again, you can find links to listen to the show on KSCW on our website. https://suncitywestradio.com/our-shows/&nbsp; &nbsp;

Eat Like a Pig, Run Like a Horse: How Food Fights Hijacked Our Health and the New Science of Exercise. That is a great title, and it’s a great title to the new book by our guest today, Anastacia Marx de Salcedo  Eat Like a Pig, Run Like a Horse takes us on a fascinating journey that weaves together true confessions, mad(ish) scientists, and beguiling animal stories. Marx de Salcedo shows that we need to move beyond our current diet-focused model to a new, dynamic concept of metabolism as regulated by exercise. Suddenly the answer to good health is almost embarrassingly simple. Don’t worry about what you eat. Worry about how much you move…and moving can overcome, even overwhelm the most disgusting conditions.

That of course is our guest today author Anastacia Marx de Salcedo reading from her excellent new book, Eat Like a Pig, Run Like a Horse: How Food Fights Hijacked Our Health and the New Science of Exercise.  Join us as we discuss the book, deworming, and the fact that there is no magic pill. There is no perfect diet. Could it be that our underlying assumption—that what we’re eating is making us fat and sick—is just plain wrong?  


Please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast, author and science writer Anastacia Marx de Salcedo.

#806  Unleashing Love: The Science and Soul of the Human-Dog Bond

Today’s show is about science, imagination, and a little bit of madness — the kind that makes history unforgettable.
Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates series. I’m Paul Vogelzang, and we’ve got a fascinating guest today. David Baron is a science writer and author, and he’s here to talk about his new book The Martians, which brings us back to a time when Mars wasn’t just a red dot in the sky, it was a world full of wonder, fear, and maybe even intelligent life. David Baron will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up soon. Please check out our show notes for links and details.
But we have Smithsonian Associate David Baron today on the program!
In the late 1800s, long before we ever sent a spacecraft into space, people believed that canals on Mars were built by aliens. Big names like Percival Lowell, Nikola Tesla, and others weren’t just thinking about Mars, they were obsessed. They built observatories, listened for signals, and convinced the public that something—or someone—was out there.
David Baron’s book tells that story with humor, insight, and real drama. It’s about ambition, scientific curiosity, and how far people will go to prove a theory, even if it turns out to be wrong. We’ll talk with David about what drove this obsession, why Mars captured so many brilliant minds, and how those early ideas still shape our view of space today.
And yes, Tesla’s radio signals from Mars come up. It’s as strange and entertaining as it sounds.
You’ll recognize the background music playing now, a familiar touchstone for many of us who grew up looking to the stars, wondering what might be out there.

Writing is one of the oldest forms of art, and a scarcity in innovation has left this art form wanting. Matias Kivi is an author who is challenging these traditions.
